Living In The Kingdom Of God By: Dr. Pete Norris

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9, 10 NKJV)

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26-28 KJV)

Dominion means " Kingdom or Ruler to reign".  Replenish means " to stock or restore to  abundance". God put Himself in Adam. Adam had the same nature as God.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (Matthew 6:13 KJV)

Glory means " weighty, splendor, or wealth".

The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. (Psalms 104:31 KJV)

Glory means " full attributes of something, full expression of God's attributes".  God gave mankind His nature. 

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31 KJV)

O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. (Psalms 104:24 KJV)

Manifold means " to increase in number, to multiply and abundance". Riches means " creation or creatures by purchase or acquisition or wealth". 

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. (Psalms 16:3 KJV)

Excellent means " Large, to expand, be great, magnificent, become glorious, powerful".

In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. (Isaiah 4:2 KJV)

Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. (Isaiah 60:21 KJV)

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. (Isaiah 61:3 KJV)

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (Galatians 3:13 KJV)

Redeemed means " to buy back for oneself". God has redeemed us back to that which is forever settled.

For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. (Psalms 119:89 KJV)

When Jesus resurrected He opens us to the invisible, which is revelation so that we can operate in the supernatural and live there.  If sin, sickness, pain, death and poverty are all the effects of sin and were a part of the curse and the result of it. They are all redeemed and removed from us in God's plan.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 KJV)

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: (1 Peter 1:18, 19 KJV)

God created a created being. No time was given of how long Adam lived in the garden. Adam lived in the eternal, to live forever.

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. (John 17:1-5 KJV)

Eternal life is more than endless existence. It is a personal relationship with God. Look at verse 4, I have finished means "to complete or perfected.  In John 19:30, He says, "It is finished".

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. (John 19:30 KJV)

John 17:5, Jesus gives clear testimony to His preexistence.   (John 1:1) the difference between John's meeting with Christ in John 21 and in Revelation 1 was that of seeing the resurrection body (not glorified) and of later seeing the transformed and celestial body (glorified).
